24lbs!! Thats fantastic - well done you I've been on a couple of long walks so fingers crossed for Sunday. Although I had my postnatal check today and he weighed me with all my clothes and big boots on and said I'm 12 stone!! I put him right and told him I'm 11st 8 without at home - I don't think he believed me but I'm going to go off mine.

24lbs is including Scarletts weight etc but I suppose it is quite good seeing she is 5 weeks old! and I am not dieting as such as I am breastfeeding, but I am going out for long brisk walks everyday with the pram.I have my postnatal check next week, I am dreading it as I think at my doctors you have a smear etc and it isn't with my usual doctor. I am going to tell them my weight that I weigh on my scales as I did for my booking in when first pregnant as I have a thing about weighing on other scales and will get stressed.You are doing well Liz, you are lighter than me, I was about a stone overweight ( although didn't look it, I was size 14 and I am 5ft 7) when I fell pregnant, but it seems to be coming off I need to lose a stone and a bit to get to prepregnancy weight then another stone after that to be in healthy weight range.Good luck for Sunday! :D

Good luck for your check-up. I didn't think much of mine really as it was more a chat about how I'm feeling etc. He asked if I had been out on my own which I laughed at as I said I couldn't as was feeding her myself and he said crying wouldn't do her any harm. Needless to say I think I'll stick to staying in for the timebeing. He asked about a smear and I said I'm not due one yet and he checked and said fine I can wait until the 3 years is up. I think you only have to have one if you are due one and I thought doing one postnatally wasn't the best time to do one anyway. If you're uncomfortable with the new doc you could always wait for your own GP or nurse.

Can't weigh today as the batteries have gone in my scales which my husband will laugh at as he gets fed up with me weighing myself constantly that he hides them away! I am going to change my 6 week check and get it done either next week or the week after, my health visitor said I have to get it done at 6 weeks but I now know it is between 6 - 8 weeks, so hopefully I will get my doctor or a female doctor!Will try and get some batteries for scales although not having any in them won't do me any harm as I am getting too stressed about weight at the moment!

I wish I could say my batteries had gone but I have manual scales

I did my weigh in and I weigh the same as last week and considering I didn't lose anything then its all looking a bit bleak.

People keep telling me if you breastfeed the weight should fall off I'm still waiting...............

another 2lbs off, that makes it a total of 26lbs since I gave birth! Really pleased and not really trying, just going for lots of walks and trying to make healthy choices where possible although I am still having a chocolate treat in the evening! I am breastfeeding too so I don't want to diet as such.Got my appointment changed and have a lady doctor so pleased about that!Don't worry Liz about not losing this week it will come off, just keep up the feeding and go for lots of walks with the pram, it might be that you are holding on to some weight for the breastfeeding as apparantly you hold on to half a stone until you stop feeding, thats what I have read anyway. Good Luck! Pinkfairy :D

last weeks weight 9st 13lb
current weight 9st 11lb

so 2lb lost.

i'm breastfeeding to so not dieting either. all my pre preg clothes now fit and i weigh less than i did pre preg but still got loads of toning up to do, not on my tummy though as thats flat again. its my bum and my legs that feel flabbier. OH says i'm just obsessing but i'm definately noticing a difference.

OH has agreed to let me have another boob job after i've finished breastfeeding so i'm all smiles today.

Emma- how old is your baby? You sound like you are doing well. I found all of my summer stuff from last year but it is all too tight at the moment, but I still have another stone and a couple of pounds to lose before I am prepregnancy weight but I have to remind myself that Scarlett is still only six weeks old. I am walking lots but have not been getting a chance to do stomach exercises, must start although it doesn't look that bad. My old stuff fits around the waist but is tight on my hips which I thought strange as I didn't think I had put any on there as I carried all front, but how wrong was I !!!!

I can't fit in any of my pre-pregnancy clothes and am stuck wearing a pair of big jeans and various black t-shirts I was a 10/12 before and am now a 16 I don't seem to have lost much last week either and have lost only 1lb but I shouldn't complain either as I've lost almost 2 1/2 stone in 8 weeks but I still have a long way to go. I haven't been able to do any tummy toning exercises yet due to having had a c-section but have done lots of walks. I've measured myself today so I can see improvements that way hopefully.

Well done Liz, two and a half stone in 8 weeks thats brilliant! look at the positive points, a pound is better than nothing, how much weight did you put on while you were pregnant? I put on 3 stone, I have lost 2 stone so far and Scarlett was 7 weeks yesterday, another stone to get to prepregnancy weight then I would like to lose another stone but I will see how I look when I have got to my prepregnancy weight. I am at the moment wearing size 16 jeans but they are getting big so hopefully I will be in my prepreg jeans soon. I keep forgetting to do my stomach exercises too, but doing loads of walking. I have bought the charlie brookes dvd but have only looked at it once, need the time to do it.I have lost 2lbs this week, so a total loss of 28lbs! :D Good luck all with your weigh ins this week! :D

I put on 4 stone during pregnancy and as you may have summised, I never went hungry I was starving all the time, even before I found out I was prengant as we were on holiday and I kept complaining about the portion sizes and OH thought they were fine. My tum is definitely the problem area and I still look pregnant and I worry if I stop breastfeeding my belly will be bigger than my boobs

And another 2lb for you pinkfairy, well done

Welcome Jazz and good luck with the weight loss. I'm not sure how many of us are left posting weekly updates on here but I think I lost another 2 lbs last week (making me 11 st 4lbs now) but as I wasn't seeing much improvement that way, I decided to measure myself and have lost an inch under my bust and 2 from the waist!!
